Basically this is about exactly what is stated in the topic, pilots simply can't earn war points (except for an assisted kill) despite their important need on the battlefield. I am a pilot myself, and have been flying a Myron equipped with a crisis control kit, 2 advanced missle turrets, and an on-board re-animation unit, so that my team can spawn inside my ship when they die and drop out onto the battlefield. Don't get me wrong, i enjoy my time in the game when i am flying, but at the end of the match it's always a bummer to see i earned no war points for playing this vital role. So, this being said, shouldn't pilots with items such as on board re-animation units earn say, 20 points per spawn in ship? Or even just points for the length of time you're piloting for. Either way, there needs to be more incintive for piloting. |

problem is your using missile turrets instead of a neutron stabilized blaster. No gunner is ever gonna get many kills with a missile turret anymore. You gotta used a stabilized blaster for a DS also why are you flying without a gunner? I play with my corp mates all the time and we take turns in the gunner and pilot seat I can go 0/0 with 1500 WP on a squad order. However your right DS pilots are a little shy on the WP department but not the the point of pulling out a DS and fly it like a panzi. Flying for certain amounts of time encourages laziness and exploiting the system.
I can argue that a pilot "gets no points" but once can argue they don't get enough. |

The "Pilots" job is going to become more apparent when the use of deployable structures get added. Taking out a turret is worth a decent amount as it is. Problem is they dont respawn. Also, the matches everyone is in right now are just basically default, skill gaining matches. Once corporations start throwing around isk, I am sure things will be different. But, for now....realize it is after all, still beta.
Transporting troops, I am not sure if I agree with that, I haven't seen it in any other game and there is nothing like having mercs jumping in and out of the drop ship to generate more points...If you want more points, be a logi, they earn tons.
As far as the spawning in ships, I have not piloted one myself, but you should get points for that just the same as the drop links the infantry use, which is 10 or 20 points I believe.
Your time will come dear pilot....Your time will come.. |
